Union protests in Saarland: Big passes in the event of money withdrawals threaten

An increasing uncertainty about supply in cash in Saarland is currently being emphasized by a strike in the public service. According to the union, all federal states are affected by a two -day strip, with around 60 employees in the protests in Saarlouis and Neunkirchen in Saarland.

in Saarlouis, where around 30 employees were active, according to Sandra Dziekan, the union secretary for the Saar-Trier region, this is around 50 percent of the workforce. In Neunkirchen, too, it was passionately strike, which draws attention to the upcoming possible bottlenecks when lifting money.

bottlenecks with lifting money?

The question that many concerns is whether there could be bottlenecks at the ATMs. This Friday, October 18, certain bills could be missing in some machines in Neunkirchen and Saarlouis, while it was unlikely that a machine is completely empty, said Dziekan. This Situation could also have an impact on retail, since there may not be sufficient change there.

The warning strike, part of the current federal wage tariff round and the mantle tariff round, is a strategic attempt by the union to put pressure on the employer. Among other things, Verdi calls for a wage increase for employees in Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate to 22 euros per hour and 18 euros per hour in the inpatient area, for a term of 12 months.

As part of the working conditions, the union also requires that all working hours that go beyond the regular eight hours are remunerated with an overtime surcharge. In addition to the claims on vacation pay and Christmas bonuses, which the union in the form of a uniform nationwide nationwide of half a gross monthly salary demands. In addition, each employee should be entitled to at least 31 days of vacation at a five-day week.

other strikes are conceivable

The view of another strike is not excluded if the negotiations in the third round now remain without progress. "Then we will plan further actions for the week after," explains Dziekan. These developments and the uncertainty about possible riots could continue to cause concerns about cash availability in Saarland.
